I think so too, I'd go mad if I had to prepare bottles at 2am!

i know what you mean hun! with cameron i felt like i should as mw's tell you breast is best! and all that, but cameron was very hungry 9lb 2weeks over due baby! i lasted a few days and then the lovely mw who is now the boss of our award winning local maternity unit was very supportive about me quitting. i was in tears and in pain every time he tried to latch on, i was really starting to resent him. and was so releaved to have this mw's support. any way was sitting in the room they bath and can feed or what ever in radio on feeling much more love for my lil man, when in came the then head of maternity unit. she shouted "leeanne what are you doing" que almost in tears again! but the lovely mw was still there and she said " leeanne has decided to not breast feed but that is ok tho isnt it!" other mw had to agree then pissed off! after that decided not to breast feed rachel and again not to bf this lil man.

i have 2 very healthy (apart from rachels special need rachel is a very healthy big girl) childeren. and we have always had a very affectionate and loving relationship.

i really felt i would have gotten pnd if i had carried on, so for me breast feeding was not.

good luck with your choice and well done to all mummys who are breast feeding, it is a great gift to give your child and i respect you all xxx
